folio work

well since my oral presentation is now done i can focus more on completing or continuing my folio.however i do have one major problem - Stepping Out closed late march!

but i do want to continue with my theme - behind the curtain of the stage.

i do have a few ideas theses are as follows:

1. take photos of my friends in my dance classes when moving and/or waiting for classes to start
2. staged shots (pardon the pun)

the first idea is pretty self explanatory I believe and is pretty straight forward. I just have to make sure i have my friends permission for photos to be taken of their image and also to be uploaded/shown on a public domain.

the second idea is possibly going to be a little harder to accomplish.

i'm thinking about using my own image and set up alot of stereotypical scenarios within my own home.

the images below (which i may include in folio - not sure yet) is a start and an inspiration for what i want to do.

i took the pictures shown on this blog about 6 months ago on my webcam on my macbook pro.

in both these photos, i put heavy/stage type make-up on only half of my face while leaving the other side plain and not done up. then using my bed side lamp as my main light source.

the idea behind the photos was the contrast between 'the performer' and 'the person behind the performer'.

the colour change was done on my computer afterwards. both shots were taken in colour. i changed the one on the left to black and white as an experiment. i quite like it in black and white.

i also believe that the colour image was edited a little. i think i may have changed the brightness and contrast slightly but not alot.

so yeah,

this is the end of my blog about the start of my continuation of my folio. =D
